quite delicious. I used light sour cream and homemade chicken stock which makes for a very low calorie smashed potato. You'd never know it.

These turned out soupy and weird. I wouldn't make again, they were terrible.

I honestly did not expect to like
this recipe very much. But these
were really good mashed potatoes! I
actually prefer them to "standard"
mashed potatoes with whole milk and
lots of butter. I used Yukon Golds
and they took 20 minutes (not 15) to
cook. There was no need to add extra
salt. I used low-fat sour cream,
which worked fine. I skipped the
nutmeg
(personal preference). I served to
both children and adults and added
chopped chives for the adults. Very
good!

These were a huge hit. I added garlic powder and butter also and substituted vegetable broth instead of chicken broth since I was cooking for a couple of vegetarians. The butter made them extra creamy.

Great side dish with pork. It is also delicious by substituting cauliflower for potatoes and lower in carbs.

I took another's advice and made them for the pepper steak dish with wine gravy and it was delicious. Will make them again. Very easy.

This dish is so easy to make, low-fat (particularly by using low-fat sour cream) and yummy. There are other great mashed potato recipes out there, but my favorite invariably involve multiple steps including the food mill. The simplicity of smashing up the Yukon potatoes (with no butter!) makes this dish one of my weekday favorites to accompany meat dishes. I do like the addition of fresh herbs at the end and have tried a variety (including marjoram, thyme, parsley, etc) depending on what's on hand.

Simple, good, and a great accompaniment to any main course served with gravy that can be ladeled over the potatoes as well. We had it with this site's Pepper Steak with Port, Zinfandel, and Mushroom Sauce. A very good match.

I agree with Eileen of Baltimore. Not awful, but there are just so many better potato recipes out there...... KIMBER
